The refactoring does sound like a good idea. I'm willing to do this but want
to kill off a few more of the printing problems first. I wouldn't be hurt if
someone else wanted to do it before I can get to it. The bug this would fix
is pretty minor compared to some still outstanding but would apply more
broadly once done.
